When used with a `:through` association where a corresponding
`belongs_to` association has not been set up on the inverse model, the
`have_many` matcher raises this error:
Failures:
1) User should have many projects through clients
Failure/Error: it { should have_many(:projects).through :clients }
NoMethodError:
undefined method `class_name' for nil:NilClass

Fortunately, ActiveRecord has a `check_validity!` method we can call on
an association. For `:through` associations, this will run through a
litany of checks, one of which is to check for the inverse association,
which we want in this case. We rescue the error that is produced and
include this in the failure message.
